DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — Voters in the tiny New Hampshire village famed for casting the first ballots in the nation’s first presidential primary have found themselves in a tie between Republicans Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

Nine ballots were cast in New Hampshire’s Dixville Notch just after midnight.

Romney and Huntsman received two votes each. Coming in second with one vote apiece were Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.

For the Democrats, President Barack Obama received three votes.

The nine residents who cast their ballots include three registered Republicans and two registered Democrats. Four other voters haven’t declared a party.

Support FR, defeat the rinos.

I vote that Dixville Notch is where the 911 Victory
Mosque of al Qaeda, the DNC, and Romney belongs.


"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company

.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.

So it's OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."


"Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney's operation. "


Ground Zero mosque developers apply for federal grant
The developers behind the proposed Ground Zero mosque have applied
for about $5 million in federal grant money set aside for redeveloping
downtown Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks....
run by the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corp.

John C. Whitehead AKA John Cunningham Whitehead
Romney for President "


" In Islam, every structure linked to the faith and its rituals has a precise function and character.
A mosque is a one-story gallery built around an atrium with a mihrab (a niche pointing to Mecca)
and one, or in the case of Shiites two, minarets.
This 13-story multifunctional structure couldn't be any of the above.
The groups fighting for the project know this; this is why they sometimes call it an Islamic cultural center.
But there is no such thing as an Islamic culture.
The Prophet imposed his rule on parts of Arabia through a series of ghazvas, or razzias (the origin of the English word "raid").

The ghazva was designed to terrorize the infidels, convince them that their civilization was doomed and force them to submit
to Islamic rule. Those who participated in the ghazva were known as the ghazis, or raiders.
After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat -- or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided.
The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare
for future razzias. Later Muslim rulers used the tactic of ghazva to conquer territory in the Persian and Byzantine empires.
After each raid, they built a rabat to prepare for the next razzia.

It is no coincidence that Islamists routinely use the term ghazva to describe the 9/11 attacks against New York and Washington.
The terrorists who carried out the attack are referred to as ghazis or shahids (martyrs).
Thus, building a rabat close to Ground Zero would be in accordance with a tradition started by the Prophet.
To all those who believe and hope that the 9/11 ghazva would lead to the destruction of the American "Great Satan,"
this would be of great symbolic value."

So how do you Explain Gov. Huntsman’s Conservative record? Working under Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. 100 % rating with NRA and 100 pro life rating. Cut taxes in Utah to historic lows, balanced the budget, top job creator, eliminated loopholes and burdensome regulations, best managed state and most business friendly. Still no different than Romney ? Now without your baseless rhetoric how do you explain all that away?

The NH Secretary of State expects 75,000 people to cast a ballot for Zero in today's primary on the democrat side...that's a LOT of inbreeding. Of course, winters are long up here.

Unbelievable.

Romney and Huntsman were already the kings of Dixville in my book.

I agree withyou completely about NH. However, I think Iowans are shedding their Marxist demrat infatuation. The only reason Romney finishe even 8 votes ahead was a national GOP push to get their RINOs to the polls—IMHO. The national GOP—and perhaps some in the state GOP—spent lots of money and time to achieve their pathetic result.

I would cut Iowa some slack for the time being.

Agreed. If the Texas and SC primaries were held today, the front runners would be conservative and relevant. These hayseed primaries are all part of the Progressive Agenda to keep conservatives in a box. Iowa is a major Ag welfare state and New Hampshire is, well... Quirky. Ayep.

Sick of these small inbred states

What a rude & disgusting thing to say.

I suppose some people would rather that NYC alone would be able to choose the President

I believe many sexual-orientation-challenged types have moved into Dixville Notch in recent years. The guy in your picture with the bow tie I would wonder about.

Anyway, Romney, Huntsman and Paul should do well there.

The liberals always get a good headline out of Dixville Notch. How about a few conservatives move up there to take it over? It would take about 5 families.

There's a conservative way to spin it:

Obama only got 33% of the vote! In a DEMOCRAT precinct!

so this was a misleading headline in order to sway the vote later today.

I hope, it it has to be, that romney will soundly trump huntsman if for no other reason than clearing the field of this useless candidate.

NH is an open primary and not as important as the closed primaries.

I think the problem is that states like New Hampshire are SO scared to death of anything remotely socially conservative that even though they tend to have libertarian views on guns and taxes, they’ll go for the liberal rather than risk having someone who is right of Howard Stern on social issues.

Iowa has the opposite problem, they’re such Bible-thumpers, that they simply go for whomever seems the most Jesus-like, throwing fiscal sanity to the goats.

A few years ago, all 9 votes went for the Libertarian candidate. Dixville is a nice town, but not relevant for anything.
